Reactions to the accusations have been strong, with women in the industry publicly speaking out on social-media platforms like Twitter. Many women, like Brie Larson and Amber Tamblyn, emphasised how hard it is for women to speak out about sexual harassment, especially when a powerful man such as Weinstein — who has helped shape the modern film industry — is involved.

Here’s how celebrities are reacting to the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment allegations:

Amber Tamblyn:

Rose McGowan:

Brie Larson:

America Ferrera:

Jenny Slate:

Roxane Gay:

Stand with @AshleyJudd or give your legs to someone else. What she and others have just done is painful and difficult and triumphant.

As always, I stand with the brave survivors of sexual assault and harassment. It’s not your fault. I believe you.

This abuse of power must be called out, however powerful the abuser, and we must publicly stand with those brave enough to come forward. https://t.co/9jAAZtfjJe

I took meetings at Weinstein. With other female execs. But every single time I’d hear “as long as you aren’t meeting with Harvey, you’ll be fine.” That’s our reality.
